Abstract
The aim of the presented work was to identify the peculiarities of the photosynthetic apparatus, the activity of redox enzymes and proline content in apricot varieties with different drought tolerance. Four apricot varieties such as Kazachok, Nagycorosi Orias, Khurmai and Krymsky Amur were used as objects of the studies. To determine the effect of drought on the state of the photosynthetic apparatus, a series of experiments was carried out to analyze chlorophyll fluorescence induction (ChFI) parameters, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activity and proline content in apricot leaves. It was found out that in summer 2018, when the amount of precipitation exceeded the climatic norm, during the period of the maximum drought probability, catalase activity decreased, polyphenol oxidase activity increased or was unchanged and the proline content did not change significantly. Extremely arid conditions in summer 2019 resulted in peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activation and a decrease in the proline concentration in all the studied apricot varieties. However, the drought tolerant variety Nagycorosi Orias was characterized by the most stable indexes of peroxidase activity during the entire experiment. A decrease in the leaf tissue hydration was the reason for the increase in the base fluorescence and the decrease in the correlation index of the rate constants of photochemical and nonphotochemical deactivation of excitation in PS 2. In the drought tolerant varieties Nagycorosi Orias and Kazachok changes in the ChFI parameters were reversible. It has been demonstrated that disturbances during primary photosynthetic processes were most pronounced during the restoration of turgidity. It was revealed that the most sensitive parameters of ChFI in apricot are the characteristics of the fast phase. A decrease in reparative abilities in the midsummer was probably associated with age-related changes in leaves and fruit load.
